TIPS
SKIN CARE
This month our focus is on skin care. Before applying make-up to the face, you should first practice a good skin care regimen by using the following steps:
1. Make sure you wash your face with lukewarm water and a gentle moisturizing, cleansing soap or body wash (no fragrance for sensitive skin).
2. If you are already wearing make-up, remove your make-up with a gentle cleanser.
3. Exfoliate the skin with a gentle exfoliant with glycolic acid, which hydrates and helps retain moisture.
4. Use a good Toner with witch hazel extract.
5. You can also include an anti-aging serum with Retinol.
6. Use a good Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer day (light) and night (thicker) to add moisture back into your skin and avoid lines and wrinkles.
7. Avoid excessive exposure to the sun and use a good sunscreen with SPF-30 or higher.
Most of these make-up products mentioned can be purchased by clicking on this link to the www.LoveExquisite.com website.
"IN THE CARDS"
Capricorn
This year, is the year to finish completing the goals that you set out for yourself. Stay focused on what you need to do for you. Long gone are the days when you put everyone else first. What about you? Who is making sure that your needs are met? You're the best person for that job.
Aquarius
You should be excited about this year ahead. You are working on new projects that will be successful, but don't be afraid to ask for help. You can be too independent at times and that's exactly why it is taking you longer to get where you want to be. As much as you advocate for others, it is time to advocate for yourself. It is okay to ask for help when needed.
